  • An Ashwini dominated native wants to finish things fast.
  • They are excellent in averting danger, either physical or psychological.

  • Natives born in Ashwini Nakshatra can find any place to take a nap, whether it is on an uncomfortable plane, train, bus ride or in the comfort of their bedroom. They use sleep to gain energy and not for pleasure.
  • Their main aim is to wake up as early as possible so that they can start running in the race of life.
  • A horse lacks a collarbone; hence, an Ashwini native may have weak collarbones.
  • The most distinctive feature of a horse is his muscles and endurance, which is widely known worldwide, so it is obvious that an Ashwini dominated native has strong muscle tendons and the ability to work much longer and faster than others.
  • One word that comes to mind is “horsepower”, which is used in describing the power of a car’s engine.
  • A horse is an extremely powerful animal that can kill a man with a single kick from his hind legs.
  • If we compare a horse’s body to a human, the hind legs of a horse are like his actual legs, while the front two can be considered as arms.
  • An Ashwini native will have strong legs and thighs to help him run in sports.
  • Ashwini is about horses having strong muscles and legs to run fast. Bodybuilding is about building muscles and having the endurance to lift heavy weights.
  • The horsepower also translates into a love for fast-moving objects like race cars, rockets, fighter jets and bullet trains.
  • An Ashwini native may love such type of transportation and sometimes can take it on as a hobby too.
  • Another prominent feature of a horse is his face, especially the long nose, big eyes, and long neck.
  • Next time, observe a person with a heavy influence of Ashwini Nakshatra in their chart, for instance, a cluster of planets in Ashwini Nakshatra, and observe their face.
  • A person’s face, in astrological sense, is seen from the 2nd house, but that is only 50% of the story.
  • A cluster of planets in a birth chart will always dominate the ascendant and 2nd house for body and face.
  • A Virgo man can be overweight because he may have several planets in Cancer in Pushya Nakshatra.
  • Notice the hair on the horse’s head; they move with the wind and are naturally styled without a salon in the wild.
  • Ashwini men or women love to have long hair and style their hair.
  • They always do whatever they can to have silky smooth hair.
  • Horses are known for their wild spirit, which is why there is a term ‘wild horse’.
  • A horse wants to go anywhere he wants, when they wish and not care about a master-slave relationship.
  • An Ashwini native is extremely independent, free, and wild.
  • They want adventure; they want to climb a mountain, then eat lunch, then go and play basketball.
  • They hate schedules, deadlines, and orders.
  • They simply want to be themselves.
  • Ashwini natives always do what they want, including the way they want to dress and do their makeup.
  • Since a horse can run hundreds of miles before they eat their next meal, it shows a horse can go to distant places into new territory.
  • Ashwini native wants to travel far away places and meet people who are brand new to them.
  • They may even marry someone who is of a different culture or from a foreign land.
  • Another fascinating fact is that Ashwini natives love to do their hair right and love to work with hair and hairstyle; that’s because a horse has very stylish hair, which comes upon their forehead and rises with the wind.

Attributes of Ashwini Nakshatra in Astrology

  • From Ashwini, carriages for animals for transport, everything related to transport and transport department is supposed to be derived. The Puranas relate that the two Ashwini Kumaras were born to mother Sanga and father Ravi. The mother held the solar semen in her nostrils, for otherwise, she could not hold it because it was so strong.
  • They are the twins of Sanga. Therefore, this Nakshatra is supposed to produce twins. Mars (Mangal) in this Nakshatra – especially if the Lagna is in Aquarius (Kumbha) and Mangal in bhatristhan indicates twin brother and sister for the native. Or, suppose, Ravi, Guru or Pitri Karaka or Lord of the Bhava signifying father or son is in this Nakshatra. In that case, the father or any of the uncles or any of the children may be one of the twins.

Ashwini Nakshatra is owned by the Ketu, and Ketu suggests enlightenment. In Shree Rama’s horoscope, the Sun is exalted, and the Moon is in its own sign. Lord Shree Rama was born at noon. This means he was born in Cancer (Karka) Lagna. The deity of Pushya Nakshatra is Bruhaspathi. This indicates knowledge.
